Part II: Why We Need Stronger Cell Phone Radiation Regulations--Key Research Papers Submitted to the FCC

Part II: Key Research Papers Submitted to the FCCLast revision: 8-3-2016

The FCC received more than 900 submissions regarding its cell phone radiation regulations. These documents reveal what we know about wireless radiation health effects, and why we need to strengthen regulations and provide precautionary warnings to the public.

In response to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) request for input regarding its radiofrequency radiation regulations adopted in 1996, individuals and organizations submitted thousands of documents, testimonials, research papers and scientific publications that are now available to the media and to the public.

These documents reveal what we know about wireless radiation health effects, and why we need to strengthen regulations and provide precautionary warnings to the public.

Although fifteen countries have issued precautionary health warnings about cell phone radiation and recommendations on how to reduce risks, the wireless industry in the U.S. has opposed precautionary warnings and wants to weaken our radiation standards instead of strengthen them.

In all, 978 submissions were made to the FCC between June 24, 2012 and November 12, 2015. Many submissions include multiple documents. To access these papers go to the FCC's web site for Proceeding Number 13-84 at http://bit.ly/1aGxQiq.

Part II which appears below contains a list of key research papers and monographs submitted to the FCC and links to these documents which enable people to download the papers.
